Self-Introduction: Kamin Horvath

[Kamin Horvath]

Is this list/group still active? Hopefully this isn't falling on deaf ears.

Anyways,

Hi all, my name is Kamin Horvath and I'm from Atlanta, GA. My FAS account name is
khorvath, and you can probably find me on IRC or pretty much anywhere else as mohaas05.

My skillset is perhaps a bit untraditional but hopefully in a good way. My background
isn't in the tech industry at all - I'm a project manager for a mechanical
contractor, and I've spend 5+ years in various roles in the industry. Part of my job
includes as the title would suggest, managing the various skills and trades involved in
construction/retrofit/replacement projects from start to finish. However, a large portion
of my job is sales - identifying opportunities, meeting clients and developing
relationships, helping them develop plans, etc. - and I believe that's where I can
offer the most benefit to the Marketing team.

I'd specifically love to be a part of whatever outreach efforts the Marketing team is
involved in, as that's already a big part of what I do every day,, whether it be it
in-person or virtual efforts. However, I'd be glad to help in writing or whatever
other role is needed - especially since COVID has drastically changed everyone's
priorities.

I appreciate you all letting me get on my soapbox, and hope to work with you all soon.
I've been a Fedora user since FC1, and I'm excited to finally be able to
contribute back.

Thanks,
Kamin Horvath

Not very active, but contributions are welcome. A lot of effort is 
currently in the magazine, though this is not the only  outreach area 
that is useful.

Diversity is welcome. Would be great to know how you use
Fedora. There 
has been a series on "How do you Fedora?", link to last article is below
https://fedoramagazine.org/carlos-castro-leon-fedora/
Maybe you might offer to be interviewed?

Again, writing for the Magazine would be useful. Some other relevant 
information:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-magazine/contributing/
https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-contribute-to-fedora/

Community operations and an ambassador role may also be of interest, 
though most of the discussion uses Discourse, not a mailing list:

We're here, but, yes, this is an area which needs a lot of help. I'm excited
about your background -- we don't have enough project managers in general in
Fedora.

Fedora's "Action and Impact Coordinator", Marie Nordin, is working on a
plan
to revitalize the marketing team as an effort of our broader Mindshare
committee, and your help with that would definitely be welcome. Marie's
taking a much-deserved couple of weeks off, but hopefully can help connect
you up when she gets back.

Appreciate the kind words, thank you. Sounds like there are big things 
in store for Marketing and definitely look forward to hearing about it 
when she gets back.


Thanks,

Kamin
